  1. I can’t say it better. One of my very, very favorite people here. Sending love and light, @hornblower 💗 💗 💗
  2. DS and all his friends use Apple Pay or Google Pay. We figured he’d be a lot less likely to lose his phone than lose a credit card.
  3. Yes, this is my new panic.
  4. I’ll absolutely give homegrown credits!
  5. @8filltheheart I checked out College Confidential and it was seriously disheartening! And equal opportunity disheartening, not just for people testing out with Chinese AP. I’ll stick to here, thanks, where people are helpful and kind. 🙂
  6. Yep, that’s it. 👍🏼 I considered the one you’re looking at, but it was too tall for the space.
  7. I gifted the Cuisinart to someone recently and she raves about it. She says it takes a bit longer to make toast than a regular pop-up toaster, but that is the only complaint - as a toaster oven she says it’s great. She has roasted chicken in it, air fried, and baked in it and loves it for all of those. It’s the Cuisinart model recommended by Wirecutter, the one with the pizza stone (she hasn’t used that yet, so no review).
  8. Are the supplemental essays generally the same year to year at most schools? I thought we could start small with the supplemental stuff, but don’t want kid to waste time if they vary wildly year to year. When are they officially released anyway? On August 1?
  9. Brandeis gives a graded paper as one of the options if you’re not submitting SAT scores, but I don’t think they otherwise require it. I think Princeton requires a graded paper though. Brown recommends submitting one. Williams wants a writing sample but it doesn’t have to be a graded paper.
  10. Just quoting as jumping off point to mention that the US has responsibility for much of the violence in the Central American countries. A quick read to get people started: https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/dec/19/central-america-migrants-us-foreign-policy
  11. That’s cherry-picking and distorting what the DA said. But of course you know what really transpired. 🙄
  12. Here’s the checklist: https://add.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/adhd-questionnaire-ASRS111.pdf
  13. Where There Be Dragons has excellent, interesting programs. Highly recommend.
  14. NPR has book lists. Here’s one, but you can do a search for others. https://www.npr.org/2012/08/07/157795366/your-favorites-100-best-ever-teen-novels Or pick some good prep schools and look for their reading lists. Here’s one: https://www.andover.edu/news/2021/2021-summer-reading-list and another: https://summerreading.choate.edu
  15. When DC was in AoPS Precalculus, the teacher said they should count on dedicating two hours per day minimum. My kid never did, but probably should have.
  16. Does anyone have a particular favorite basic intro to linear algebra text? It is just to whet the appetite. I’ve seen recommendations for Bretscher, Strang, Savov, Lay… I know nothing, so any help is much appreciated. If you want to throw in suggestions for multivariable calculus I’d be happy to have those as well. Thanks!
